The last survey of the mental health of children and young people in Great Britain in found that 8% of 5 to 10 year olds and 12% of 11 to 16 year olds had a clinically diagnosed mental health condition. Up to 25% of children show signs of mental health problems with more than half continuing through into adulthood. Half of all mental health problems emerge before the age of 14 and three quarters by age 25.
Despite this, there are very few clinical outcome measures available or suitable for children under the age of 12.
